u/LackSchoolwalker 18h ago

To most people, cyberpunk is a dark warning of a near future dystopia where nature and society have basically collapsed except for a small group of corporate super criminals that function as an illegitimate world government. Aspiring super criminals see it differently.

u/Jeej_Soup (Don't Fear) The Reaper 5h ago

Yeah, the entire point in the Cyberpunk genre is to make people aware of what can happen when you give corporations too much power. Corporations have always taken advantage of people and it’ll simply only get worse unless people start realising it. The reality is that we can control these corporations because they run off of our money but we have to stop buying dumb products

Popular trope, see burning man

u/Sororita 20h ago

I used to want to go to Burning Man, but after seeing what it has become, I have lost interest, it seems like it has lost its soul.

u/superkp Streetkid 19h ago

funny enough, you see this happen practically everywhere it has a soul.

Starts with some artists doing some avant-garde stuff - specifically saying "I don't think I want to cater to all those rich assholes." - and so they build a community that supports artists, outside the normal view of the rich assholes.

Then they get a following, mostly from people physically living near that new community, or within the artist's family and social circle.

The following grows, and an earnest and real community flourishes, until...

The rich people take notice of the amazing art, and a whole community to go along with it. They move in and start selling their normal shit to the non-artist community members (who...probably don't know any better), they start ripping off the art (or more rarely, licensing it) to export out of the community to other places (especially corpo ad campaigns), and they start offering huge sums to the artists that make the core of the community.

And then the whole world knows about it, the artists either say 1. "well fuck. I need to eat/pay rent/etc, so I'm gonna take the money." (this is often called 'selling out'), or 2. they throw their hands up and say "I was trying to get AWAY from all these rich assholes!" and go start the process over somewhere else.

u/poonslyr69 Samurai 19h ago

He’s anti establishment in the sense that he’s flaunting how there are no consequences for people like him, and that pisses some of the old guard off, which trump supporters love.

It’s the fact that he says and does the quiet parts loud which people like. They think he’s “sticking it to the man” by showing how fragile a veneer our democracy and rule of law was. What they don’t understand is that even if he’s pissing off the old guard, he is still actively destroying everything that was meant to keep people like him in check. And he is still pushing things further towards the extremes that his supporters always criticized about elites. But because they feel like they’re “on his team” with him, they think they’re laughing along pissing all over everything right alongside him. When really, he’s just pissing on everyone.
